my head still hurts
hiya, i’m very pleased that hubby william returned yesterday safely from seoul with lots of goodies for me from my mom -and dad, so that’s great! :-):-D
but i’ve had headache pain EVERY DAY since wednesday, the day of my injection. soo painful! william took my picture this morning while i was getting my IVs 
and i was trying to smile.
they’ve been giving me ibuprofen for pain relief and since yesterday night, they started giving me fenbid which is extended relief ibuprofen, william said. so i basically slept a couple of hours this afternoon to make up for poor sleep i’ve had since wednesday. that was good. i do hope the pain stops coming back.
the doctors said that i lost CSF(=cerebral spinal fluid) when they did the lumbar puncture for my stem cell injection which causes brain pressure to change. i also had really low blood pressure today after they started my IVs, so they will take my blood tomorrow morning to check. sigh. 
so yes, although the lumbar puncture for my stem cell injection on wednesday was absolutely excellent, the days following have been quite poor….meaning terrible head pain and low blood pressure.
